I should really explain a bit about ACA but I can't be bothered so I'll copy some info from the ACA website. You can also link to this from the right hand menu.

'Following research by Angus Council, craft workers were offered the opportunity to come together to discuss their needs and aspirations. After an initial meeting in March 2004, which over forty crafters attended, a steering group was formed and with financial help from Angus Council, ACA was established. Since the inaugural meeting in October 2004, the ACA has formed into a structured group dedicated to fostering and promoting crafts made in Angus.'

I didn't know this. Praise to Angus 'Cooncil' for their initiative and bold forward thinking. Praise also to the pioneering crafters who launched the Association in those early days.

But enough praise for one post. In the near future I feel I may need to comment on some of the 'Cooncil's' present practices and policies (or lack of them) but for the moment I'll leave their integrity and reputation unchallenged. Steve, we really do need to confer on this.

I've just remembered that it's my wedding anniversary tomorrow and all the shops, apart from T**co are closed. Do I have time to craft a card?
